Matterport Benefits for Real Estate Agents and Sellers
In a crowded housing market it can be tough for your property to stand out among thousands of other listings. This clutter can make it difficult for prospective buyers to narrow down their top options; especially if they can’t visualize what their potential home looks like.
Lucky for you, this problem has an easy solution with proven results. A Matterport Virtual House Tour!
Look at these statistics taken from Matterport’s website.
- Agents get 403% more leads from real estate listings with dynamic visual content.
- Virtual Tours get clicked on 40% more than listings without virtual tours.
- Properties featured with a virtual tour get 95% more phone inquiries.
- Virtual Tours generate 49% more qualified leads.
The numbers make it clear. Having a 3D house tour is the most effective way to engage clients with your property.
But there are other, more tangible, benefits as well. This is especially true as we try to curb the raging COVID-19 pandemic. As the entire world goes virtual in an effort to mitigate the virus, a virtual home tour presents agents and sellers with a covid-safe way to show off their house. Not only is this safer, but the reduced foot traffic frees up time that would otherwise be spent staging the property. This is particularly helpful because it reduces the chance that an uninterested client, with no intention of making a purchase, will request a tour. As realtors are often busy people, this allows them to maximize leads and show clients more relevant properties.
There is also an added degree of professionalism to properties that feature a virtual home tour. A Matterport 3D model infuses your listing with a cohesive, innovative, and more complete look that is sure to catch the eye of potential applicants. As a realtor or property owner, this demonstrates that you are willing to go the extra mile to present an optimal buying experience.
In addition to this, Matterport virtual house tours are compatible with popular platforms like Google Street View, Zillow, MLS, Realtor.com, and more! With the option to upload a 3D model in just a few clicks, it couldn’t be easier to showcase your property. This is especially helpful for home-owners and realtors who are looking to rent their property on a yearly basis. Because we offer a Matterport virtual tour for a one time fee, it can be used annually with no extra cost or any hidden fees. As 3D home tours are proven to generate more leads, a Matterport virtual tour will pay for itself by reducing vacancy time each and every year.
Matterport Benefits for Buyers
A Matterport 3D home tour offers a unique opportunity for prospective buyers to virtually interact with a listing they are interested in. Given that more than half of home buyers start their search online, it is essential for a property to stand out in this digital space. This is because, with thousands of properties to look through, buyers will gravitate towards listings that are detailed and easy to digest.
An immersive Matterport virtual tour is the most effective way for a listing to be both of these things. Providing a complete, realistic, and undoctored view of a property that static images can’t, a 3D home tour is the best way to engage prospective buyers with a property. While the stunning detail gives an accurate reflection of all the property’s features, it can also help the buyer envision themselves in their new home. This is important because establishing a real and emotional connection to a house is what makes it a home.
Matterport virtual tours also help answer a ton of questions buyers might have about the property. They want to know what the bathrooms look like, what the bedrooms look like, how big the kitchen is, the finish the floors have, and so on. With buyers having specific questions that can’t be answered with a few static images, it’s important for them to get answers promptly and efficiently. With all relevant and important information right in front of them, it will be much easier for buyers to decide if they want to pursue a property further.
Virtual House Tours have Proven Results
In the end, a Matterport virtual house tour provides an all-encompassing experience where everyone wins. Agents and sellers get to free up time while boosting their property’s engagement. Buyers get to see and feel what it’s like to live in their prospective home. Choosing Matterport benefits both parties immensely.
